#4 Our full home inspection checks more than 2000 items in the average home.

In 2008, we developed our MaxInspect™ home inspection process. A set of best practices improved to fix the most common problems homebuyers and real estate investors face with everyday home inspections:

“How did my home inspector miss this [fill in the blank]?”

Professional home inspections are as much skill as science. Perfecting the craft requires years of practice, which is why they are not made equal.

Here are the 3 parts to our MaxInspect™ Process:

A 100% Inspection

This may seem like an unexpected fact, but professional home inspectors are NOT required to check all the things in a home.

In reality, they only have to inspect a selected number of things. In the average-sized home, this usually amounts to roughly 400 things.

But Bulldog Professional Inspection Services inspects 100% of the things we can see, touch, and test during a home inspection.

This amounts to about 2,000 things and covers every outlet, switch, door, window, floor, wall, ceiling, tub, shower, faucet, toilet – and everything from the roof ridge to the sump pump.

But being hands-on also means we know HOW to test the things in your home that break, crack, click, buzz, arc, and leak because turning them on and off sometimes isn’t enough. Sometimes, the order of things reveals problems that less experienced home inspectors would have missed.

We do this to offer you a complete picture of what’s working and what’s not. Unlike some home inspection companies that rush through sections, our goal is to do it right the first time and give you the details you need to make informed decisions about your home.

So, whether you’re buying or selling your Raymore home, you’ll get a home inspection that prioritizes depth, accuracy, and clarity.

Mystery Glitch Technique

A mystery glitch is an electrical oddity that makes you scratch your head. For example, a switch in one room operates a fan in another, or a loose wall plug that turns on the ceiling fan when you use it.

We know homes well enough to find and uncover these pesky gremlins early, so you won’t be grumbling under your breath after you settle in.

Gravity Flow Process

Everybody knows gravity is a steady force that pulls us down and tries to grind us into dust.

But we use this to our advantage by allowing it to help us track and follow the problems caused by leaks and structural shifting.

Starting from the roof of the home, we move our way downward to the foundation. As we move along, we track the signs left behind until we find the source, it stops, or it disappears into a place we can’t reach.

Then we’ll inform you what’s happening, how concerned you should be, where we couldn’t find it, how far it went, whether we can observe damage to other areas, if there are signs of past repairs, and what we recommend.

All to show the full picture so you know what to expect.

#8 Your home inspection report will be detailed, well-organized, and easy-to-understand.

When it involves the bargaining power you deserve from a house inspection, nothing is more crucial to a successful outcome than your house inspection report.

This is the tool you rely on to negotiate, the document that sheds a serious light on your property, the one and only thing you take with you when the inspection is finished, and what your partner will turn to in order to create that to-do list (don’t say we didn’t give you a heads up).

That’s why we’ve updated that outdated and neglected industry relic of a report into a tool that not only delivers the most details with the smallest amount of risk; it helps you glide through your deal like you own the place by helping you get maximum price reductions, repairs, and concessions.

Here’s the way we get it done right the first time…

1) We craft reports using an inverted pyramid writing style.

A what?

Simply put, when you’re going through one of our sections, you won’t ever have to dig through a lengthy line of sentences that seem to drag on with unconnected ideas and separate thoughts until you finally get to the point.

An inverted pyramid writing style lays out the most important facts right away and builds the remainder of the story from there.

We will always go directly to the point in the very first sentence.

2) Our 10key™ comment method answers the 11 most key questions every house inspection report should cover if you want to fully grasp the issue in question.

In Kansas and Missouri, property inspections can seem like you’re back in the Wild West—you only discover what type you’re hiring once you’ve chosen them.

That’s why some house inspection reports create more confusion than answers and force you to take the time out to contact the yahoo inspector and ask them what they’re talking about.

But not us. We don’t just understand how to dig deep and uncover the real problems, but we also understand how to explain them in the clearest way possible so you actually see what’s going on with your new property.

1. What did I find?

2. Where is it?

3. What does it mean?

4. What will happen if it’s left unchecked?

5. Any signs of old fixes?

6. Is this a major problem?

7. Has it affected anything else?

8. Has it hurt any surrounding areas?

9. What do I suggest?

10. What caused it?

11. Any signs of old issues?

These are the 11 points every report must address if you expect to understand the full effect each defect has on the property.

3) Our reports are crafted in easy English.

Imagine we don’t know each other.

You could be a seasoned contractor or a nanny. A stay-at-home grandmother or car salesman.

It makes no difference because we craft our reports so anyone can get them no matter who you are, what you know, or what you do.

In fact, when I create a report, I picture my 70-year-old hippie mom from California reading it. And I’m pretty sure if she can understand it, anyone can (love you, Mom!).

4) Your house inspection report will be clear and easy to follow.

A report filled with things that aren’t important makes it hard and confusing to understand.

We don’t add anything unnecessary in your house inspection report that will confuse you from the things that really matter—the facts that you care about.

So, if it touches five or six different sets of hands before you close on your property, it’ll always be simple for each of them to understand and use.

5) Your property inspection report will be packed with enhanced photos.

Your report will include well-marked color photos that show all important defects. The photos grow in size when opened from your desktop computer to let you see the condition for yourself.

6) It will always be delivered on the same day.

Time is key when you’re facing a 3, 5, 7, or 10-day inspection period. This is particularly true when you have to have time to go through the report and arrange other inspections next.

That’s why you can count on getting your house inspection report on the same day.

#10 We remove the cover from the main electrical panel.

Here’s an uncomfortable truth: Home inspectors don’t have to remove the main electrical panel cover.

But we do it anyhow because that buzzing box of high-voltage tends to cause more “DIY disasters” than almost any other part of the house. Double-tapped breakers, missing premises, careless wiring, loose connections, rust– if something can go wrong, it likely will inside that panel.

When we examine your electrical panel, we don’t cut corners. If we can access it securely, we constantly remove the panel cover and inspect the wires, breakers, and connections inside.

That’s the extra effort that saves you from nasty surprises after you’ve moved in. It’s also the reason why our customers trust us.

With Bulldog in your corner, you’ll never have to question what’s hiding behind that metal cover.
